Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 29 March, 2012 Posted 29 March, 2012 Recently I have noticed what utter twunts Audi drivers are. Are they the new BMW drivers? I'm thinking they are personally.
buctootim Posted 29 March, 2012 Posted 29 March, 2012 Its really interesting how different brands are often perceived totally differently in different countries, and how that changes over time. At least in the UK Audies do seem to be attracting knobs -maybe because there are a lot of cheap TTs around now. Saw this article abnout car brands in China. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/15/business/global/in-china-car-brands-evoke-an-unexpected-set-of-stereotypes.html?_r=1 And this one about changing perceptions from year to year http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/cars/new-cars/news/2011/01/2011-car-brand-perception-survey/performance/index.htm

The road I live down is a very difficult road to get out of, so it's interesting to see who lets me out. The people most likely to let me out drive Range Rovers, X5's and Cayenne's, which has surprised me. Oh, and white van men. The worst are Audi drivers.

Indeed, I am an utter twunt...every time I go to Weybridge I try to outdo the wuckfits in their BMWs, Range Rovers etc. It's an uphill task but your post leads me to believe I'm chipping away at their huge lead....
JackFrost Posted 8 April, 2012 Posted 8 April, 2012 Recently I have noticed what utter twunts Audi drivers are. Are they the new BMW drivers? I'm thinking they are personally. Jeremy Clarkson picked up on this a few years ago. A lot of of what he says is complete guff but on this I think he's spot on. Only a few weeks ago was I driving along a road and approached a parked car on the other side of the road. A bloke in an Audi came in the opposite direction, put his foot down and chanced it, forcing me onto the verge. If he'd have done that 2 years ago I'd have nicked him.
Saint137 Posted 8 April, 2012 Posted 8 April, 2012 Its small man syndrome, they bought an Audi rather than a Beemer and feel inadequate as a result. Recently had a full-on road rage incident with a white Audi on the Salisbury to Ringwood road (the sort of road Ice Road Truckers would think twice about driving like a **** on). I was doing a sensible speed considering it was a bit foggy, he went flying past me overtaking on double whites and then brake-tested me to the point I barely avoided him by driving up the grass verge. Look of utter rage in his eyes, no idea why.

Jonnyboy Posted 9 April, 2012 Posted 9 April, 2012 Said the man from his pushbike! Haha, yeah well, we have to be let out at junctions too!
Jack Posted 10 April, 2012 Posted 10 April, 2012 I drive an Audi and consider myself to be a very good driver. HTH.
adrian lord Posted 15 April, 2012 Posted 15 April, 2012 I drive an Audi and consider myself to be a very good driver. HTH. So conforming nicely to the stereotype then....
